Steam has hit record high peak concurrent user numbers multiple times this year.
The pandemic had a notable impact on both engagement and behavior, with a higher amount of users during off peak times too. https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1337828565715447812?s=20

Social games / party games including titles like Among Us and Fall Guys have also become more popular on Steam this year.
As people were unable to meet with their family and friends this year, many used gaming as a way to connect virtually or simply pass the time.
